Personally I would much prefer to see Australia play Bangladesh in the quarters than the West Indies or New Zealand. Obviously they're a decent team at home and capable of a big performance on their day but they have been thoroughly average for most of the WC and are much more likely to just capitulate into a huge loss.

In terms of capability they are a significant challenge but they're by far the most unreliable of all the test nations.

Amla is such a gun. The ease at which he plays. No power, just pure timing and still scoring more than run a ball. What a player.!!

this is pretty dire from Bangladesh so far, no intensity, their body language seems to say they think it's over for them, need a wicket then another one, then another one

It was funny to hear Athar Ali khan cribbing about the wicket on commentary. Apparently he wanted a slow and low wicket. This is a WC match, FFS.

They have no plan B. South Africa knew it would be 40 overs of spin and have played it well so far. Target the quicks and just take it easy against the spinners, lay down 250+, game over.

Shakib may have to bowl a lot of overs in a row here. They need a wicket pretty badly. Should have kept Shafiul on, goes for a few but can always buy a wicket.

This South African attack isn't good enough for it to be 250 game over tbh. 300? Yeah.

If Steyn and Morkel were playing I'd agree with you entirely but South Africa's strength is spinners here and Bangladesh will back themselves a bit against them.

don't think there's anything wrong with that, he obviously wants a Bangladesh win, and a slow and low wicket is the best way for that

It is given the conditions and who they are playing. Also Botha should like the Bangla Boys plethora of lefties.

Great to see the crowd so into this. Shame they're going to lose in all likelihood. That wickets gives them a small chance though.
